How Many Owls? ( plus GIVEAWAY!)

This giveaway is now closed and entries are no longer accepted.The winners have been announced on Feb 14, 2011.

Thanks for playing!

********************************************************************

My babies are 8 Years Old!!

We celebrated our twins' 8th birthday over the weekend but before we did, the girls wanted to bring some treats to share with their classmates in school. We made Owl treat bags with the Lettering Delights' Animal Valentines SVG set and stuffed them full of candies. They happily brought the treats to school and came back all excited because the bags were a HUGE hit! Their classmates LOVED them!

Because our weekend was filled with so many activities that the kids didn't get to enjoy their birthday as much as we would liked, Hubby has declared this week their Birthday Week. I can't leave you guys out in our birthday celebrations and so I am giving away not one but TWO Lettering Delights Gift Certificates. Each gift certificate will have a value of $8.

I just found your blog a couple weeks ago and LOVE it! I bought this SVG file after seeing it on your blog. That sure was a lot of work making these for school. I'm going to guess if your girls are in different classes that you made about 56! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to the girls. How exciting to have a birthday week! Hope you guys have lots of fun celebrating it and thanks for letting us join in. I am going to go with the idea that they are in different classes and so I am guessing 47. And wow aren't the owls just too cute. I have been thinking about this set for my little two year old. She wants to make treats for her friends after seeing me make treats for her brother's school mates for Valentines's Day.

Hmmm...my question is, are your twins in the same class? LOL....our average class size in my kids school is 25 so I'm going to go with that and assume...(yikes).... that they are in the same class.....They turned out really cute. What a great mom. My baby turned 8 too. They grow so fast. Thanks for the chance to win. I'm already a follower. live4scrappin at hotmail dot com

Well Jin, I don't know if your twins are in the same or differnt classes. I'm going to go for different, so I will guess 44 boxes. Happy Birthday to the girls. How fun to have a whole Birthday Week! You can contact me on the MTC forum. I am CeCeCreates there!

Wowza - I think you did 52.....ish - give or take 30 or so in either direction! Hee hee - but massive well done to you for even doing 10! They must have been such hard work. Wish the twins a belated happy birthday!

How cute!! Your twins are so lucky to have such a talented Mom. You are amazing. I don't know where you find the time. Thank you so much for sharing. I think you made 28. I am a follower. Thank you, Meagan. emnie@q.com

I'm guessing 48 - we made the alligators, puppies and kittens this weekend and the owls are next!!! We're up to 24 (8 each) and PRAYING we can finish before Valentine's Day!!! All because of your amazing blog! :-)Ldw1971@yahoo.com

I'll guess 30! I have been reading this blog for a long time, but never followed. =P So now I'm following. =) I don't actually have a clue how that works, but I clicked the button and did what it said, so I guess I'll find out. =P

Hmmm...27. I was so tempted to buy this set but seeing as I have teenage boys and the Jr. Varsity at church, I think they would all kill me for making them little kids treat bags. Of course they would eat the candy first, then complain ^__^

I can completely see why your owls were a hit!! They are adorable :O). Well, since my guess doesn't have to be right then I am going to use one of my lucky numbers...I guess 21 (even though I can see you made more than that, hehehe)! I am and have been a follower and if I win you can reach me through my blog. Thanks for the opportunity Jin!

I am going to guess 26 Owls. Are in the same class or in a different class? I have quadruplets. The only time in elementary school when they were in the same class was kindergarten. They are now in 7th grade. So far in middle school with switching classes every period, two or three have been in the same class, never four. Next month they will be 13. YIKES teenagers.I would love to win a LD gift certificate! Imagine if you had to give four things all the time!!!! I follow you.fourkidstwocats at msn dot com

I can see at least 24 in the picture.. my first assumption was that they are in the same class but now I'm not sure. I'm going to guess that they are in different classes and say 48 :) thanks for the giveaway Jin!

I'm going to guess 60 because they might be in different classes, you might have made a few to keep, and a few to give to teachers, and some for their friends who aren't in their classes. mysticct2006@hotmail.com

Tjink I will guess 27 or maybe 32 as extras for special people around the school? OK 32 is my guess. I just really NEED the gift certif from LD cause I am wanting to try everything you show as they are so cute and it looks like I can do it.thanx Peggyqueen551atsbcglobaldotnet

The one day I don't go online and you have a giveaway! Glad I'm not too late! I'd guess you made at least 40 of those very cute owl goodie bags! Happy Birthday to your "babies"!finecrafter at gmail dot com

My first guess is 88, but that seems too high, so I'll say 16. I was going for multiples of 8. Thanks for sharing: I enjoy viewing (and trying) your ideas. Your tutorials have helped me as a beginner.Thank you for the blog and this contest! (lisalovestosew@gmail.com)

I have twins also that are 11. There is usually around 26 kids in a class and if your school is like mine, they don't allow twins in the same class, soooo....that means you would have had to make some for each class...so my guess is...52. lol Thanks for the chance!kristingirlfree2fly at yahoo dot com

I'm going to say 29. BTW, thanks to your detailed beginners' tutorial, I was able to not only get my Cricut Expression hooked up to my computer and running MTC, but also able to get all the giftboxes for my son's second grade class' Valentine's Day party tomorrow. You saved the day! Thanks!
